Regulations and Importance of PIT (Telehandler) Training

Telehandler training teaches employees how to recognize hazards, perform pre-use inspections, and safely maneuver equipment in a variety of workplace environments. Completing OSHA-compliant telehandler training reduces workplace accidents and liability while ensuring operators have the skills and knowledge needed for safe and efficient operations.
